New Outram Part MRT Linkway To Welcome Commuters On 29 May

As Land Transport Authority (LTA) gears up for the launch of Stage Three of the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL), some of the older stations will also be getting a revamp.

Come Sunday (29 May), Outram Park MRT Station will welcome a new addition — a travellator that cuts through the interchange, quickly linking both green and purple lines.

The brand new passage will essentially take over the original route and quicken the time it takes to get from one line to the other.

Commuters who frequent the station can finally take it easy when switching between the East West Line (EWL) and North East Line (NEL).

New Outram Park MRT linkway will shave commute times

In a video shared on their Telegram channel on Friday (27 May), LTA showcased the brand new linkway that will open on Sunday (29 May).

According to the captions, the new linkway will feature enhanced signages to make navigation much easier for commuters.

 

Those who usually need to squint their eyes at signs will no longer have to do so thanks to the huge and unmistakable green band at the EWL entrance.

Why didn't they just build the stations closer in the first place?

limpeh is questioning the economic rational behind building so many lines.

 

these 2 lines in particular.

 

until now, limpeh still dont understand why must build these 2 lines.

They are trying to expand the CBD into those areas, you can see a large number of office buildings being build in the two lines. The old "build it and they will come" thinking, they are forgetting that we are already in this century.

and ppl still ask limpeh why bukit timah is flooding more and more seriously even in august liao.

 

thats why limpeh is amazed as to why lta still wants to build mrt lines into bukit timah area.

 

theres a reason why OTC didnt include bukit timah area into the nsl back then.

 

in fact, nsl avoided that area.

 

and the same reason is still applicable now.

 

wahahahahahahaha
